With the start of a new program year in local churches, it is important that we take time to once again recognize the value and importance of our nation's churches. I got to thinking about this as I read Susan Campbell's column in the Hartford Courant about the soon to be released study of churches done through Hartford Seminary. This study details concerns about declining church enrollments and the challenges in maintaining and building upon church vitality.
I'd be interested in your thoughts and comments about the place of the local church in your life.......It's something I thought about a lot as I wrote my doctoral thesis years ago .....and it's important to come back to thinking about it over and over...
